WELCOME TO BACCHUS
Wine, music, and a kitchen that means it.
Tucked into a charming brick building on Washington Blvd, Bacchus Kitchen + Wine Bar has been Pasadena’s and Altadena’s go-to spot for live jazz, wine, and inventive New American cuisine since 2015.
This isn’t an online playlist. It’s a listening room — musicians’ choice sounds, lights low, phones away, and the room’s full attention on the stage for the length of each set. The way jazz was meant to be heard.
LIVE EVENTS
A band every week
Jazz brunches, winemaker dinners, and late sets — every show reserve your ticket.
THE MENU
Seasonal & always changing
Small plates and New American mains that change often with what’s good.
PRIVATE EVENTS
Yours for the night
Rehearsal dinners, birthdays, team building — a semi-private corner or the whole room.
THE KITCHEN
Seasonal, thoughtful, made to share.
THE BACCHUS WINE CLUB
Three bottles, six perks, one standing seat at every pickup party.
$100 / month · membership pays for itself by the second visit.
The Red

The Classic
A classic to keep
“The atmosphere is cozy, even romantic. The food is innovative with high quality ingredients.”
